This year my brother had no idea what to get me for Christmas...a problem all of us had for each other for some reason. I told him to make me something. As some of you may recall, he decided to start knitting last fall so that he could send hats to my ship for Christmas. I requested that his first hat be set aside for me, and it was...you can see it here. He decided that since I got his first hat, I should get his first scarf, too.
And here it is, delivered shortly after he finished it during our weekend in Oregon. What I love is that you can see his progression...he's only made hats before and his tension is lovely, but flat knitting has it's own challenges. The scarf has lovely character and you can see his improvement over five feet or so of knitting. It's the perfect length to wear doubled or draped and it works with most of my winter coats. It's warm in San Diego lately, but I'l be back in DC for next winter, so I'll get lots of wear out of it then!
He chose a beautiful and becoming yarn color! You will really enjoy wearing this scarf.
